tarkistettavaksi

Tarkistettavaksi is a Finnish non-finite form used to express that something is to be checked or verified. It is formed from the verb tarkistaa (to check) with the present passive participle suffix -ttava, yielding tarkistettava meaning "to be checked" or "checkable," and the translative case suffix -ksi, which turns it into tarkistettavaksi, effectively meaning "for verification" or "to be checked." The form is common in instructions, quality assurance, and project documentation to indicate items that must undergo verification.

Grammatically, tarkistettavaksi acts as a predicative part of a clause or as an attributive modifier in noun phrases, often appearing in structures such as tarkistettavaksi asetettavat tiedot or tarkistettavaksi merkittyjä kohtia. It expresses a future state resulting from verification or a requirement that the object be checked. It is related to tarkistettava (to be checked) but the -ksi ending marks the transition to the state of being in question, sometimes translated as "to be verified" or "to be checked."

Usage contexts include procedural texts, audit reports, data verification, and editorial workflows. It helps presenters and readers quickly identify elements that require verification before a decision or publication. It is not a finite verb form and does not specify who will perform the verification; rather, it marks the target state of verification.
